ETHICS:
We promise to keep this page updated, and will follow some fantastic ethics guidelines, starting with the following from WordPress medical bloggers/site publishers “Clinical Cases and Images”….we don’t know what that has to do directly with airsoft, as we hope to never have to cross paths with these guys…but they do ask some basic ethics questions we will use as a guidepost here:
http://casesblog.blogspot.com/2005/12/can-you-trust-blogs-10-questions-for.html
1. Who runs this site? ThumpMaster6
2. Who pays for the site? He does, until some “Sugar Mama” steps up and makes an offer…who knows, but you will be the first to know if/when that happens!
3. What is the purpose of the site? To stimulate innovation and point out “the good” from “the bad” in airsoft and MilSim.
4. Where does the information come from? From Thumpy, sources “in the know” in the airsoft community, and hopefully from YOU. We want your input on what you want to see in airsoft innovation…you are the customers, tell the “business” side of airsoft what your expectations are!
5. What is the basis of the information? The Truth…the WHOLE truth…nuthin’ BUT!
6. How is the information selected? Thumpy has the ultimate say on what’s posted here, but is willing and ready to be swayed by reasoned logic…or good argument…or both!
7. How current is the information? We are just starting out, but strive to be as topical and current as the information and comment we can verify and post. Definatly NOT at “the speed of smell!”
8. How does the site choose links to other sites? They can be from friends, business partners…when there are some, and will be noted as such…and just from places that all of us want to share with our friends. Where do you want to go today? We want to go along, too!
9. What information about you does the site collect, and why? Nothing other than raw user data from basic analytics…I’m sure this will change, but all we want to start is your good advice and good source information to share with others.
10. How does the site manage interactions with visitors? Comments and input will be moderated, but with a fair and even hand. If you come into Thumpy’s House, follow the Golden Rule….”do unto others,” brothers and sisters.
